GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - The retirement of Reggie White's number couldn't inspire the Green Bay Packers past the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Trent Dilfer won for the first time in nine trips to Lambeau Field, guiding Cleveland over the Packers 26-24 for new coach Romeo Crennel's first win. Dilfer threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to Braylon Edwards and a game-icing 62-yarder to Steve Heiden with 1:50 remaining.
Dilfer, who lost six times as a starter at Green Bay, once as a reserve and another time as an observer, completed 21 of 32 passes for 336 yards the second-highest total of his career and three touchdowns. The only time he threw for more yards was on Sept. 15, 2002, when he threw for 352 against Arizona.
